Winemaking
Originating in the hills of Monferrato in central Piemonte, Italy, Barbera is a prized red grape varietal renowned for it’s brambly, red fruit flavours and bright acidity. An emerging varietal in Australia, our vines thrive in free draining sandy soils and the warm, Mediterranean climate. Harvested in the cool of the morning, our Barbera was de-stemmed, chilled, and vinified in a
unique ganimede fermenter, allowing gentle maceration and retention of primary fruit flavours. After 8 days on skins the parcel was pressed to stainless vat for aging sur lie, ahead of filtration,
bottling and release.
Peak drinking
Enjoyable now in its youth but also will benefit with careful
cellaring for up to 5 years.

Tasting Notes
Brilliant ruby red in appearance, our Barbera displays lifted aromas of fresh raspberry, morello cherry and nuanced with allspice.
A fleshy and lively palate of strawberry coulis, citrus zest and soft, slinky tannin.

"Looks good, tastes good, has enough presence of fruit to take a chill, clocks in at a moderate 12.5% - what's not to like? Barbera from the Riverina - light cherry and strawberry crunchy vibe, counter-balanced with a darker depth of flavour. There's a herb and spice twist in the game, carried by a freshening acidity - the hallmarks of a good Barbera. It's all bound up in an attractive mid palate freshness. Solid all rounder - much to commend. "
